Courtesy of 77ships. Thick, coarse, off-white head, hazy peach blonde colour. Aroma has some DMS (cooked cauliflower) next to ginger and / or coriander, bubblegum, orange, flowers, bread, white pepper, red berries. Fruity, bit estery onset, pineapple, hint of banana, spritzy carbonation, honeyish and grainy middle phase, finish has a lot of the ginger and coriander spiciness, resiny and sweetly aromatic, plus some deep leafy hop bitterness but nothing to justify the ’tripel hop’ denotation. Not a bad beer per se, but too bad for the DMS.

75cl bottle courtesy of and shared with 77ships. #55/420. Ambrée, col épais crémeux beige. Arôme est légèrement houblonné avec un léger côté grains, bourbon perce en rétro, le tout offrant un profil un peu ’off’ presque chimique mais laissant penser à un Chardonnay. Palais donne un avantage au Bourbon avec une fine note douce de vanille en fin de bouche. Le tout reste cependant amoindrit pas une effervescence nettement trop importante. Retrouve des notes d’épice - coriandre et un malté typique de malt pils, pâle. Le Bourbon progresse sur la fin devenant plus agréable mais sans être spécialement adapté au profil de la bière. Fin de bouche prend une approche presque de brett et encore ce rappelle de vin Chardonnay.

33cl bottle courtesy of and shared with 77ships. Dorée, col blanc léger. Arôme montre un bouquet centré sur les épices rappelant surtout la coriandre. Houblonné reste cependant assez noble virant sur le citronné. Palais met en avant un fruité léger agrumes avec un aspect pamplemousse entrecoupé par un coté épicé de coriandre presque gingembre. Un côté noble houblonné persiste, Saaz et Tettnanger?

750 ml. bottle sampled & shared. 2015 Version - obv. BBF 05.2017. Bottle number 55/420. Deep amber & huge collapsing head. Nose is bourbon with a ridiculous amount of spices,… huge vanilla, cinnamon, spices, leaves but odd, fizzy with far too many spices, cloves & other stuff. Carbonation & out of hand, ruining the experience a bit; Taste is same huge amount of spices, cloves, cinnamon, spices, vanilla, it is almost a bit like eating a tablespoon of pure spices, quite a bit of bourbon also leaves, fizzy, spices,… Very odd beer,… A real mess but not entirely unenjoyable.

330 ml. bottle sampled & shared. Stupid marketing but that is just my personal opinion. BBF 11.2016. Hazy orange, little white. Nose is yeast, some washing powder & very heavy on spices, soap, coriander, ginger & a lot more. Taste is soap, ginger & other spices overkill, yeast, sweet sugar, candy, big sweetness, white bread,… Soapy & yeasty body; Rather caricature, way too much spices but still a bit acceptable.

25/VII/15 - 75cl bottle @ Trillium tasting, home - BB: V/2017, bottle #55/420 (2015-986) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the bottle!
Clear deep orange beer, big creamy yellow head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: orange peel, coriander, bit sweet, CO2. MF: bitter, pretty spicy, coriander, little sourish, some caramel malts, alcohol. Aftertaste: orange peel, bit sweet, hoppy, malty, pretty bitter, more coriander, weird sourish finish. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the start of an infection, 6.5% beer doesn't barrel age well...
